Why not reuse the allocated entry?
This routine is under nat_tree_lock, so the free_old->research->alloc_new
is needless, because no other ones can race with us.

And radix_tree_insert can only fail -ENOMEM here, IMO, the in-time retry step
makes very little sense here. How about retaining the "cond_resched()" and retry
insert later?

If I misread something, please correct me.:)
